MSCI Inc. (US55354G1004) opened at $571.20 on August 31, 2026, with a market capitalization of $41.53 billion and a 52-week range of $501.08 to $644.77. The latest quarterly report, released for the period ended June 30, 2026, showed revenue of $867.00 million and earnings per share of $4.94, both close to consensus but not above it.
Quarterly figures stay in view
That June quarter matters because it set the current operating baseline: revenue rose 12.2 percent year over year from $773.00 million in the same period a year earlier, while EPS increased from $4.17 to $4.94. Net margin was 40.74 percent, and return on equity was negative 55.19 percent in the same report snapshot.
For investors, the contrast is clear. MSCI is still growing at a double-digit pace, but the quarter also showed how much the market already expects from the index and data business.
Index review drives the backdrop
A fresh MSCI index review took effect after the close on August 31, 2026, and the broader MSCI World Index touched 5,034 points on August 28 before the reshuffle. The same review added 55 securities to the MSCI ACWI Index and removed 92, which keeps the firm central to passive flows even when the company itself is not the day's headline mover.
The technical picture is steady as well. The shares were above the 200-day moving average of $573.23 in the latest market snapshot and near the 50-day average of $579.52, while analysts tracked by MarketBeat put the consensus target at $709.50 after several July updates.
What the business sells
MSCI's core franchise remains its family of market indexes, portfolio analytics, and risk models for asset managers and ETF providers. Those products help explain why a benchmark review, a quarterly report, and a market-cap snapshot can all matter on the same day for the same stock.
